Genetic variation and phylogenetic analysis of 22 French isolates of equine arteritis virus
Genetic variation and phylogenetic relationships among 22 French isolates of equine arteritis virus (EAV) obtained over four breeding seasons (2001–2004) were determined by sequencing open reading frames (ORFs...

Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of Natural Products and Bioactive Compounds
The stereospecificity of biomolecules is a characteristic feature of the molecular logic of living cells. Chiral natural products are usually present in only one of their possible chiral forms. Also, the confi...

Substrate- and stereo-specificities in clostripain-catalyzed peptide synthesis
Clostripain was used for peptide bond synthesis with 18 carbobenzoxy-amino acid methyl esters as substrate and PRO-NH2 as nucleophile. Dipeptide bond synthesis was observed only for Cbz-L-ARG-OMe (72%) and Cbz-L-...

Peptide bond synthesis by clostridiopeptidase B
Clostridiopeptidase B was used for peptide bond synthesis with Cbz-ARG-OMe as substrate and 17 amino acid amides as nucleophiles. Synthetic yields ranging from 75 to 98% were obtained for most of the amides.
